A world-wide network of developers is available for a project. Anyone can sign up and join. Folks who show, by their work, that they don't know what the hell they're doing, are ignored and eliminated. Yes, some folks may work on a very small piece of the pie, but their contributions relate to their area of expertise, and most importantly, ALL work is available for public scrutiny. This is the way to get things done, quickly and accurately.<br />.<br />OK, projects like the Not Roswell Slides are as much conjecture as science, and not as rigorous as software development. There are so many questions that would remain, even if the mummy was in hand, even if the slides provenance dated to Roswell, even if the mummys DNA was human, even if the mummys DNA was NOT human...I don't see how any reasonable person could do anything but offer opinions, based on probabilities. That's OK; discussions are good, even when they're bad, they're good :)<br />.<br />It's in our nature to explain things, or at least, demand explanations. Again, that's good, because we wouldn't have our amazing technology without our curious nature.<br />.<br />We (as products of Western civilization) are trained to see things as black or white. When we dichotomize the world, we often fail to see the spectrum in between. Folks in all fields tend to think that way, even scientists and UFO researchers. You've got the paradigm (what's accepted) and the not-paradigm (what's not accepted). Paradigm shifts are almost never forced by the paradigm supporters, nor is it possible for the 'not-paradigm' (fringe) to make much headway either. Change has to come from the middle. And change must come. ALL theories are, by definition, falsifiable; in whole or in part.<br />.<br />Here's hoping (with glasses raised) we get some meat the next time 'round, instead of the crumbs we got this time. Cheers!<br />.<br />Sorry for gittin' all metaphysical on ya'll.<br />.<br />...alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547680170328747214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-83855381406245036082015-05-10T11:06:14.036-07:002015-05-10T11:06:14.036-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.TheDimovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15882471911353036958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-28955976248640396742015-05-10T09:25:48.926-07:002015-05-10T09:25:48.926-07:00@ The Dimov

The slide stock is from 1947, the very year of the crash." <br /><br />Not true at all! As I was told by the technical experts at the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography & Film in February, "All that can be verified from the edge printing on slides is the film type. It does not tell when it was manufactured. Kodachrome was introduced in 35mm in 1936. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell when it was exposed or processed."Mark UFO'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253011827146485092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-43218853461640384282015-05-09T22:54:55.345-07:002015-05-09T22:54:55.345-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paul Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-44030169924397934622015-05-09T22:51:27.470-07:002015-05-09T22:51:27.470-07:00Bragalia: "But all of this must be a series o...Bragalia: "But all of this must be a series of extraordinarily incredible coincidences."<br /><br />What a twit.

I still believe this entire debacle can be explained by human error on the part of several individuals who wanted to believe an incredible idea - to the extent that it clouded their judgement. <br /><br />Nor is this the death knell of Ufology. It is, however, what some would call a "teachable moment". Some lessons that should be learned:<br /><br />1. Sometimes science must be done confidentially, in order to maintain the integrity of evidence. This was not one of those times. In this case, the power of crowd-sourcing should have been implemented from the start, as it could have provided an answer within a few days, given full disclosure.<br /><br />2. Inappropriate association - just because something happened around 1947 doesn't mean it's connected to the Roswell incident. That would be like finding bullet casing from 1963 and assuming it belonged to Lee Harvey Oswald.<br /><br />3. Investigational bias - even those who saw high-quality versions of the slides should have immediately suspected this was a mummy. Some did, but their desire to connect it to Roswell resulted in in-adequate investigation as they failed to follow up on important clues.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />CommanderCronushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118630938118257930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-56501139995870682852015-05-09T21:31:15.137-07:002015-05-09T21:31:15.137-07:00Bragalia has admitted it's a mummy.

I had no idea it would be within 48 hours. Isn't the internet incredible? Such pooled resources, like a giant brain ...<br /><br />The "Dream Team" should now remove themselves from UFO research permanently. We already knew Schmitt was, to say the least, ethically challenged. This is the end of his and Carey's careers, such as they were.<br /><br />Dolan is done. There's no coming back from something like this. It should have been obvious this would happen, I have no idea what he was thinking. <br /><br />Maussan the huckster, the fraud promoter ... we already knew his routine. If there was any doubt of his total lack of scientific rigor, his desire for self-aggrandisment and the crass exploitation of any hoax footage available, this is it. His name will forever be a curse on any associated material. I've no doubt he will continue on, however. <br /><br />As for Bragalia, he should now remove himself from the UFO enthusiast field and cease commenting on anything related to it, forever.<br /><br />But I'm sure an amusing meltdown from him will be incoming. <br /><br />I also note the desperation of some true believers in various fora to claim this result is a fraud. Astonishing self delusion that I'm sure we're all familiar with. There's a paper in this, I tell you.<br /><br />I further predict the specific exhibit itself will now be found, or another series of photographs of it. I don't feel confident to give a time frame, it could be within the week or even within hours!

The placard interpretation is more or less significant depending on who wrote it and what he or she knew about human physiology. I just read somewhere online that the last line on the placard seems to include the designation 'Professor' Xxxxxx, San Francisco. Knowing who that 'owner' of the 'mummy' was might be helpful. Also finding where that mummy is now would be very helpful in answering the question (still an open question) whether it actually is human.

But a large segment of the true believers have. <br /><br />My point is this should tarnish his reputation with at least some of those people. The gloss is off "Saint Dolan", for all to see.

There is ample resolution and contrast available in the image, the only problem is the text is not in focus.

Instead significant sums of money were paid for complicated physical analysis of the slides themselves.
